If you have to prepare your business (or visiting) card and you don't have enough time, you can try ticket.sty, a simple interface to produce these ones and other types as: labels for your files, stickers, pins and other stuff for your office, conferences etc. I put my version (with some hints and additions) of the template for business card.

Regarding ticket.sty written by Thomas Emmel: information, examples and manual are here. I downloaded and modified ex_vcard.tex example for my purposes.

Make attention: in my template I have added the marvosym package (in order to show the symbols for email, website, and so on). You have to install it in Ubuntu and similars, how? Open a terminal shell and add the following text:

% load ticket.sty with the appropriate ticket definition\usepackage[zw32010,emptycrossmark]{ticket}% \usepackage[tdf-file,other options]{ticket}% check in tdf directory the zw32010.tdf file:% it is the definition of a ticket (margin, number, size)% in this case a standard business card type%% emptycrossmark is:% A crossmark where the part of the cross inside the ticket is not visible% other choices are: crossmark, circlemark, emptycrossmark, cutmark, boxed
